Credential Lifecycle Management

Entrust Datacard offers credential lifecycle management solutions that government agencies need to securely automate and cost-effectively manage a full range of citizen IDs and credentials.

Our software automates many of the manual processes currently required to re-issue and update secure credentials — e-passports, national IDs, driver’s licenses and other forms of identification. It also enables key capabilities such as data encryption, key management and certificate management that make the processes highly secure.

CITIZEN CREDENTIAL ECOSYSTEM

Key Elements of Our Solutions

Managing Re-issuance, Updates and Revocations

Credential lifecycle management becomes a critical challenge after government agencies have issued secure citizen IDs and traveler credentials. When it’s time for re-issuance, updating, enhancement or revocation, it’s essential to know the current status and historical use of the credential. In the case of a mobile-derived credential, it’s also important to know which operating system and what kind of digital certificates are being used.

Identity Software

Our complete identity and credential lifecycle management software streamlines every step of the process, including enrollment, identity verification, application approval, document issuance and post-issuance management. Proven workflows and a standards-based design provide cost efficiencies and the certainty of a preconfigured solution to help you avoid the typical delays and cost overruns associated with custom software development.

PKI solution

Our public key infrastructure (PKI) software allows you to easily manage citizen e-IDs and privileges after they’ve been issued. You can re-issue lost or expired credentials and deactivate lost, stolen or revoked credentials.

Measurable Benefits

Lower Operating Costs

Today, managing travel documents, national IDs, licenses and other credentials involves many manual processes that require both the citizen and the credential to be physically present. Our cost-effective solutions automate the manual processes and allow you to re-issue, update, track or revoke credentials anywhere, anytime.

Citizen Satisfaction Levels

Citizens are often apprehensive about the process for re-issuing or updating their IDs and credentials. The thought of waiting in line — often during the middle of a workday — can make the process especially unappealing. When emergency replacement is required, the anxiety only increases. Our solution automates these processes, making them more convenient.

Accurate Identification and Strong Security

It’s often difficult for border agents and other officers to determine the authenticity and validity of a credential in the field. Our lifecycle management solution leverages PKI and digital certificate technologies that allow for secure authentication at the border or in remote areas.
